Wagner Pina heading to Ligue 1?

His name is starting to circulate in France. Wagner Pina, the right-back from Estoril Praia, is reportedly on the radar of a Ligue 1 club. According to Jeunes Footeux, a French team is closely interested in the Cape Verde international, with RC Lens emerging as a potential candidate.

Investment should be made for Wagner Pina. They only want 3m. A player suited and accustomed to the three-back system. A player who wins 15-20 duels per match. He shows the Sacha Boey effect. Clubs like Benfica, Sporting, and Feyenoord are following him. pic.twitter.com/tH9J5M6CKb

The club from the Artois region is looking to anticipate a possible departure of Przemyslaw Frankowski. Wagner Pina, both defensively solid and offensively impactful, seems to tick all the boxes. At 22, he is delivering impressive performances in Portugal. This season, he has played 25 matches, scored 2 goals, and provided 3 assists in the league. His contract with Estoril runs until 2027, a detail that could complicate negotiations. It remains to be seen whether Lens or another top French club will make a move this summer.
